REIN-HOLDER.

Application filed March 23, 1909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL LUNDBY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Beresford, in the county of Lincoln and State of SouthDakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inRein-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to devices for holding the driving lines of aharness and has for its object the provision of an improved deviceconsisting of a base formed to be attached to the dashboard of a vehicleand having three pins or holding fingers extending therefrom to receivethe lines, the middle pin or finger being longer than the others so asto assist in throwing the lines around the pins.

My invention will be described in detail hereinafter and illustrated inthe accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a view of a fragment ofthe dashboard of a vehicle showing my improved reinholder attachedthereto, Fig. 2, a side view of the device, dismembered, and Fig. 3, anend view, assembled.

In the drawings similar reference charactors indicate correspondingparts in the several views.

A indicates the dashboard of a vehicle.

My improved rein holder consists of a two part casting of which one parthas a base 1 with three pins 2 extending upwardly therefrom, the middlepin being longer than the end pins as shown.

3 indicates a clamping member extending downwardly from one of the sidesof base 1 and formed with serrations 4 on its inner surface to engagethe side of dash-board A, when clamped thereon, and a hole 5 for bolt 6used in clamping the device in position on the clash-board.

The ends of the base 1 have downwardly extending flanges 7 that seat ontop of dashboard A when the device is in position, and form a spacebetween the base and the top of the clash-board for the passage of bolt6.

8 indicates the other part of the casting formed to mate with clampingmember 3 and to seat on the edges of base 1 and flanges 7, the innersurface of the member 8 being formed with serrations 9 to engagedash-board A and with a hole 10 to receive bolt 6. The inner side of themember 8 has Specification of Letters Patent.

lugs or projections 11 thereon to fit in the angles formed by the base 1and flanges 7 It will be understood that my device is readily attachedand detached from the dash-board of a vehicle on account of itsstructure consisting of a two part casing and that when in position thereins will be securely held when thrown around pins 2. By having themiddle pin longer than the end ones it will be understood that the linesmay be more easily wrapped around them, and drawn taut while beingwrapped, the long pin assisting in guiding the lines in wrapping them onthe pins and preventing them from slipping off in drawing them taut.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is 1. A rein holdercomprising a two part casting, one part consisting of a base, a clampingmember extending downwardly from one of the sides of the base, flangesextending downwardly from the ends of the base, and a plurality of pinsextending upwardly from the base, the other part of the casting formedto mate with the clamping member on the base aforesaid and engaging thefree edges of the base and flanges, lugs on said member to fit theangles formed by the base and flanges, and means to hold the clampingmembers in clamping position.

2. A rein holder consisting of a two part casting, one part comprising abase having a clamping member extending downwardly from one of itssides, flanges extending downwardly from the ends of the base, and threepins extending upwardly from the base, the middle pin being longer thanthe end pins, the other part of the casting formed to mate with theclamping member on the base aforesaid and engaging the edges of the baseand flanges, lugs on said member to fit the angles formed by the baseand flanges, the clamping members formed with alined holes, and a boltsecured through said holes.

In testimony whereof I hereto affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.

CARL LUNDBY.
